Samsung WLAN AP WEA453e - Cross-Site Scripting

What is the "Samsung WLAN AP WEA453e - Cross-Site Scripting?"

The "Samsung WLAN AP WEA453e - Cross-Site Scripting" module is designed to detect a cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Samsung WLAN AP WEA453e router. This module targets the Samsung WLAN AP WEA453e router and checks for the presence of a specific cross-site scripting vulnerability. The severity of this vulnerability is classified as high, indicating the potential for significant impact if exploited. This module was created by an unknown author.

Impact

A successful exploitation of the cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Samsung WLAN AP WEA453e router can allow an attacker to execute arbitrary scripts on the targeted device. This can lead to various malicious activities, such as stealing sensitive information, manipulating user sessions, or injecting malicious content into web pages.

How the module works?

The "Samsung WLAN AP WEA453e - Cross-Site Scripting" module works by sending a specific HTTP request to the target device and analyzing the response. The module checks for the presence of a specific payload in the response body, as well as verifies the HTTP status code and the presence of the "text/html" header. If all the matching conditions are met, the module reports a vulnerability.

Here is an example of the HTTP request sent by the module:

GET /%3Cscript%3Ealert(document.domain)%3C/script%3E

The module then checks the response body for the presence of the payload "/tmp/www/<script>alert(document.domain)</script>", ensures that the HTTP status code is 404, and verifies that the "text/html" header is present. If all these conditions are met, the module identifies the presence of the cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Samsung WLAN AP WEA453e router.
